Show Soonsors needed in Moab for Boys Staters , The American Legion is proud of the duel programs pro-grams offered each year at Boys and Girls States. These programs are designed de-signed to initiate potential leaders from among high school Juniors into the workings of our republican republi-can form of government. In the past a small group of business in the Moab area have sponsored sponsor-ed the boys and girls by providing the small sum needed to support each boy or girl for one week. The American Legion has supplied the thousands of man hours needed to make th,e program successful suc-cessful while prominent people from various levels of government have provided pro-vided considerable direct instruction through lectures, lec-tures, demonstrations, etc. There is a need for additional sponsors either businesses or individuals. The cost of sending each boy or girl this year is sixty-five dollars (S65.00). Any business or individual who would like to be an effective part of this very excellent program can do so by calling Jerry Davis at 259-7125 and offering full or part sponsorship : either for a specific boy or ' girl or to be used as needed to insure that anj worthy boy or girl will not t be denied thg opportunity j This year the Legion i hopes to send 12-18 boys but cannot do so without ' funds. There is no better publicity available that the publication of the fact that a business or individual indivi-dual voluntarily aided a ' young person to gab j further knowledge in the j beliefs and benefits of America's government.
